After years separating from the Military I started to become sedentary. Really didn’t focus on my nutrition and I stop exercising. As the days and months quickly went by my health further and further deteriorated. In the spring of 2007, results of my physical I was diagnosed as Pre-Diabetic…. That really startled me! Additionally, I was beginning to experience chronic neck, shoulder, and lower back pain… Results of the wear and tear body experienced from being an active young man….. It was coming home. I tried to work out on my own, in our garage, try to manage my diet, and I was monitoring my glucose levels…. I really wasn’t making much progress…

In Dec of '07, My wife watched a Slim n Six infomercial and was so impressed she bought as a means for us to get back in shape and improve our overall health levels. What made Slim n Six so appealing was the real life experiences and the lives that were changed by this program. When it came, it sat on the shelf for months.... Typical, right? I have read the same stories, so this may sound like a re-run. I actually watched it once sitting on the couch. Finally, I decided to get off the couch and start my journey and transformation to a new and healthier me. After 6 weeks I was so impressed with Slim n Six, I was loosing weight and inches, but my back, neck and shoulder pains were no longer! I graduated to P90X and instantly fell in love with this program. After 6 weeks of Slim n Six and 30 days of P90X dropped about 14 pound, lost 4 inches off my waist, but more importantly, after my follow up of my annual physical I was no longer Per-Diabetic! At this point I so convinced these program really do work and really impacted my life in a such a positive way! I had been a skeptic to these types of programs...well I am now a believer and I will never go back to the way I was. Though I had a few recent setbacks, job and personal challenges that I stopped for about 3 months. December of ’08 I decided to restart and in the middle of my first month experienced a serious pinched nerve in my neck. It has been determined I suffer from a Degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine in my upper neck…. I not going to let this setback impact my journey. I continue to maintain my diet as outline in the P90X Nutrition Guide and working around my injury, stretching and lower body workouts. Because of this, I continue to lose weight and my recovery has accelerated! My Doctor is impressed with my speedy recovery. Knowing that I have certain health issues I can nor will I ever go back to way I was. If it wasn’t for P90X and my friends of the Team Beach Body Community, I would have probably stopped and my recovery would have extended out for months! I am sure my condition could have worsen…. Team Beach Body, the programs, and the supplements and now an integral part of my life. There are so many life changing and positive aspects to these programs…. My stress levels have dropped dramatically, I am no long Pre-Diabetic, other than the pinch nerve in my neck, my back and shoulder issues are a thing of the past….
This my story to date. I enjoy in sharing my story with others and hope I can inspire you as others who successfully transformed their lives did and continue for me. I have struggled with neck and back issues because of the abuse I put on my body through all the years of playing contact sports and being the military. So far I have lost over 4 inches in my waist alone. My fitness journey this past year hasn't been an easy one. Job changes and challenges, personal and family obligations have all put a strain on my fitness goals. Just like most people, I have started and stop and started again. That's ok for me..... My fitness goals are a lifetime journey. Come join me!
